Research Intern, Human Computer Interaction (PhD University Student)

Oculus Research is looking for an intern to help us to invent technologies for interacting with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) devices. You will explore ways we can interact in AR/VR using a variety of sensor streams coming from input devices, cameras and physiological signals. Your research will involve the development of novel interaction techniques and/or input devices, as well as evaluations of how specific engineering choices impact the user experience. You will work with world-leading collaborators and mentors in the AR/VR & HCI fields.
Our internship is twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.

Responsibilities

Plan and execute cutting-edge research to advance AR/VR interaction with techniques that are tolerant to input noise, combine multiple modalities, or enable novel interaction capabilities.

Collaborate with other researchers, engineers, and user experience researchers to prototype hardware and software solutions, and run experiments to advance the project.

Work with leading academic researchers in the HCI field. The work should result in publishable research that appears in top-tier journals or at leading international conferences in the HCI field.
